Cash in On The “Retail Apocalypse” With This Simple Step

Last year alone over 7,000 brick and mortar retail stores shut their doors.

And the amount of retail space closing in 2018 is on pace to break records…

For instance, the American giant, Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD) filed bankruptcy just two days ago – proving even some of the biggest names aren’t safe in what’s been coined “the retail apocalypse.”

But there’s only one way to profit off this retail decline…

And it’s not what you may think…

The End of an Era – Get Out of Brick and Mortar While You Can

Brick and mortar retail has been on a slow decline for years…

And it’s all thanks to the development and growth of online e-commerce platforms like Amazon.com (AMZN).

But today we’re focusing solely on the newest victim in the spotlight, Sears Holding Corp. (SHLD). The company behind the stores we all grew up with – Sears. As you probably saw, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in a hail-Mary effort to save the iconic American shopping giant.

As of now, the retailer is planning to close 142 unprofitable stores by the end of the year.

What shocked most investors though, is how the stock skyrocketed 36% after…

The things is, it’s really not surprising at all – especially when half of the talking heads on the financial news networks have been pushing this idea to load up on the stock using puts.

But I’m going to be blunt – doing the exact opposite and not buying any sort of piece of SHLD is the only way to play the decline of this American “sweetheart.”

You see, when it comes to these sort of bankruptcy situations, it can take years for the company to finally dissolve. And that means years for your profits – and that’s if they ever come.

And that’s just not a risk I’m willing to take…

That said there’s still a way to profit off brick and mortar and it’s as simple as not putting your money in the sector.

Now, the recent market pullback has raised many red flags, but it’s made for opportunities as well.

And the one I’m eyeing is on the company that could be blamed for the retail apocalypse the brick and mortar sector is currently facing…
